    Author Nicole Louie
    “Book Descriptions: The Lives of Women Without Children tells the story of women who don't have children. Part memoir, part exploration of childlessness through candid conversations with other women who found themselves asking the same questions I asked myself, this book is an attempt to showcase the many ways in which people find fulfilment outside of parenthood. And because the social expectation to procreate weighs the most on women, it focuses solely on them, their experiences, and how their womanhood can manifest and bloom outside of motherhood.

    "An important, beautiful, self-excavating memoir about female autonomy and joy found in childlessness, told with great tenderness."
    - Nuala O'Connor, author of Seaborne

    "Deeply felt and deeply researched, books like this will help women decide what is right for them."
    - Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, author of Harmless Like You

    "Lyrical, full of insight, humanity and compassion. Others Like Me shows women who don't have children that there are so many others like us."
    - Clodagh Finn, author of Through Her Eyes: A New History of Ireland in 21 Women

    "These interviews are digestible in length and fascinating in breadth, adding depth and nuance to Louie's own story . . . Tender, emotive and quietly revelatory."
    - Irish Times"”
